Installation effects of suction caissons in non-standard soil conditions

open access: yes, 2013
Nowadays suction caissons are extensively used for anchoring large offshore floating facilities. Installation of suction caissons in coarse grained soils is achieved by induced seepage flow in the soil. This reduces the soil resistance at the caisson tip,

Dynamic centrifuge testing of suction caissons in soft clay

open access: yes, 2006
Accommodating performance-based seismic design in offshore foundations can allow for substantial reductions in foundation depth, and consequently major cost savings.To validate the seismic performance of a suction caisson-type manifold foundation that ...

Installation of suction caissons in layered sand: Assessment of geotechnical aspects

open access: yes, 2014
Suction caissons are used more and more for various in the oil&gas and offshore wind industries. Although, the use of suction caissons is not new, uncertainty still exists regarding their installation, due to the varying soil profiles encountered and the

Cyclic moment loading of suction caissons in sand

open access: yes, 2016
Suction caissons are being considered as a foundation option for offshore wind turbines. One configuration involves use of the caisson as a mono-foundation, in which case the moment-rotation response of the caisson must be well understood by the designers.
